Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the
appliance on. Remove all packaging before use.

A IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 The cleaner should only be used by or under the supervision of a

responsible adult. It’s not a toy – don’t let children play with it.

2 Don’t put the cleaner in liquid; don’t use it anywhere

damp or wet.

3 Don’t use the cleaner near a gas, oil, or open fire. The

flame may be sucked towards the cleaner, causing a fire hazard.

4 Keep hair, clothing, fingers, toes, and pets away from the end

doing the sucking, and from the brush.

5 Stuff you mustn’t pick up:

a) liquids – you’ll short the motor
b) stuff that may ignite, like matches, bits of fire-lighter
c) anything burning or smouldering (cigarette ends, ashes,

embers) – wait till they’re extinguished and cold

d) spillage from toner cartridges – the fine particles may pass

through the filter, and short circuit the motor

e) cement or plaster dust – they’ll combine with moisture in the

air, clog the filter, scour the bin, and may burn out the motor
f) anything sharp – you may puncture the filter
g) anything biological – you’ll eventually have to clean it off the

filter, and viral particles may pass through the filter, reach the

air outlet, and enter your air supply

6 If you use the cleaner outdoors (e.g. cleaning the car), connect it

to the electricity supply via a residual current device (RCD), with a
rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.

7 Don’t leave the cleaner unattended when plugged in.

8 Unplug the cleaner and rewind the cable when not in use.

9 Keep an eye on the cable, so it doesn’t catch on anything, or trip

anyone up. Don’t run the cleaner over the cable, you’ll damage it.

10 If you’re using the cleaner on stairs, sit it where it can’t fall, and

keep it below you, so if it does fall, it won’t land on you.

11 Don’t use the cleaner if the bin is full – switch off, unplug, empty.

12 Don’t use the cleaner for any purpose other than those described

in these instructions.

13 Don’t use accessories or attachments unless we provide them.
14 Don’t leave the cleaner in sunlight, UV can damage plastics.
15 Don’t use the cleaner if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
16 If the cable or plug is damaged, return the cleaner to avoid hazard.

household use only

U COUNT THE BITS

You should have an extendable tube, a turbo brush, a big brush, a

crevice tool, a small brush, a sofa brush, a hose, and spare bags –
check all the packaging before you dispose of it.

C FITTING THE HOSE

1 Push the hose end into the inlet.
2 You’ll hear a click as it locks into position.

C CABLE

3 Pull as much cable as you need from the back of the cleaner.
4 The yellow band round the cable tells you there’s a metre left.
5 The red band tells you “Stop pulling, you’ve run out of cable!”.

6 Watch the cable so it doesn’t catch on anything, or trip anyone.

C CARRYING AND MOVING THE CLEANER

7 Lift the cleaner only by the carrying handle.

8 When the cleaner is sitting on its wheels (normal position), you

can move it around by pulling gently (that’s gently), on the hose.

9 For stationary jobs like curtains, you may sit the cleaner

upright, with the handle uppermost, but don’t try to move
it around like this, it’ll fall over.

C CHOOSE THE TOOL FOR THE JOB

10 The tools will fit on the nozzle, or the end of the inner tube.
